Puneeth Rajkumar’s Dodmane Huduga First Day Collection

After the moderate success of Chakravyuha, Puneeth Rajkumar, who is in need of a big hit, is back with Dodmane Huduga, which is also spelt as Doddamane Hudga. The Kannada movie hit the screens on Friday, September 30. It is the reunion of Puneeth Rajkumar, Suri and V Harikrishna, who were earlier part of Jackie and Anna Bond. While their first film was a blockbuster, their second film had bombed at the Sandalwood box office.

Dodmane Huduga has Radhika Pandit, who had romanced Puneeth Rajkumar earlier in Hudugru, playing the female lead. Actor-turned-politician Ambareesh will be playing an important role in the Kannada flick, which has Sumalatha, Bharathi Vishnuvardhan, Srinivasa Murthy, Krishna, P Ravi Shankar, Rangayana Raghu and others in the cast. The film has Satya Hegde’s cinematography and Deepu S Kumar’s editing. V Harikrishna has provided a few foot-tapping songs. Dodmane Huduga is a family-oriented action movie.

The film has drawn curiosity with its power-packed trailer. The audience have pinned high hopes on the flick. Puneeth Rajkumar’s Dodmane Huduga and MS Dhoni: The Untold Story have clashed at the Bengaluru box office. Both the films have generated a fantastic pre-release buzz and have opened well at the collection centres.

Dodmane Huduga has been released in over 270 screens in Karnataka and it is witnessing a record 250 shows in the Garden City. The advance booking has met with stupendous response and the early reports indicate that the flick is set to register over 75 percent occupancy on the first day in Bengaluru. Total first day collection of Dodmane Huduga was 4.50 Crore*.
